Summary:
The Extera Public School No. 2, the sole elementary school in the Extera Public School No. 2 District located in Los Angeles, California, has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past three school years and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Extera Public School No. 2 has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics ranging from 19.44% to 42.86%, significantly lower than the state averages of 42.8% to 47.37% in ELA and 35.02% to 45.64% in Mathematics. The school's performance in CAST Science assessments is also below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9%, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 98.6% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high-poverty student population may present additional challenges for the school in terms of resources, support, and student needs. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school.
